THERE was widespread shock over the death of one of the most renowned traditional sailors in Connemara when his boat sank off the coast of Kinvara at the weekend.Johnny She‡in Jeaic Mac Donncha (67) and his brother Josie (66) were sailing in a gleoiteog, a smaller version of the Galway Hooker, when it capsized about three miles out to sea off Kilcolgan Point shortly before 11am on Saturday.They were both pulled from the water but efforts to revive the older brother were unsuccessful. Josie She‡in Jeaic was treated in University Hospital Galway but later released.The tragedy unfolded when the two brothers set off in their gleoiteog, named McHugh, for a regatta in Rossaveal, alongside the hooker Bl‡th na hîige. One of the men in the second hooker jumped intothe water to rescue the brothers.
